Baking bread is one of the therapeutic thing you can do in the kitchen. Believe it or not, it is my stress reliever. I enjoy kneading the dough and watch it grow then shape it into desired size and bake it to perfection. Each time i bake a bread, i love how the texture turns out. I have baked many types of bread and have shared so many recipes on my blog, check the recipe here.
This recipe is a flour free recipe, this bread calls for semolina flour. In many countries you could get semolina flour, i think you can purchase it online in amazon. I used sooji flour in this recipe, i took our regular sooji or rava and powdered it myself in blender till it is fine. Then i used that flour to make the dough.
Once the dough is made it is just like other regular bread recipes. The dough rised beautifully and the bread was so soft and spongy with a perfect crust. This bread is perfect for sandwiches or having with a cup of tea. You can store this bread for upto a week in fridge and for 2 to 3 days at room temparature.
